PatentAI is a privacy-by-design and secure Microsoft Word plugin developed by Mithril Security, a startup specializing in AI and privacy. This AI-based tool enhances patent drafting by offering automatic paragraph completion, boosting productivity and efficiency.
PatentAI is designed with the utmost confidentiality and privacy in mind. We ensure that we cannot see any data exposing customers' Intellectual Property (IP), nor can we store or train on it. Your data belongs exclusively to you: you maintain complete control over your input, and the generated output is your proprietary asset.
All data you share with us is securely transmitted with TLS encryption, decrypted, processed, and immediately discarded.
Confidential data (your patents’ data) is only decrypted in isolated environments, which do not expose data even to our own admins. After suggestions are computed, results are re-encrypted using users’ keys, and no confidential data is stored on our servers.
The only information we log in is technical metadata.
We do not share any user information, metadata, or otherwise, with third parties. Our infrastructure is built using Microsoft Azure, with servers located in the USA. Data does not leave the premises of our Cloud infrastructure.
Our production services are well secured, with no access to confidential data and minimal access rights to the rest of the infrastructure servers. We monitor for any suspicious activity.
